Summary of Bible references on the Rapture

The apostasy comes first

What we learn in the first 8 verses is that the apostasy comes first and this is what prompts God to tell Moses (a type of Christ) to go back down.

9 And the Lord said unto Moses, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people:

Wow, what a terrible translation. No one understands what this word stiff necked means. It means cruel, hard, grievous, sore, churlish, hardhearted, heavy and rough. When Joseph sees his brothers the first time as the leader of Egypt it says he "spake roughly" to them. That word "roughly" is this word. In Exodus it says the Egyptians made the Israelites life bitter with "hard" bondage. That word hard is this word. In another place it is translated as "cruel" bondage. In Deuteronomy as evidence that they were a "stiffnecked" people Moses pointed to their rebellions. In Judges 2:19 the word for stubborn is this word translated stiff necked.

And it came to pass, when the judge was dead, that they returned, and corrupted themselves more than their fathers, in following other gods to serve them, and to bow down unto them; they ceased not from their own doings, nor from their stubborn way.

In 1Samuel 25:3 the word for churlish is this word for stiff necked.

Now the name of the man was Nabal; and the name of his wife Abigail: and she was a woman of good understanding, and of a beautiful countenance: but the man was churlish and evil in his doings; and he was of the house of Caleb.

In 2Samuel 2:17 the word for "sore" is this word. It indicates that this battle was very cruel.

And there was a very sore battle that day; and Abner was beaten, and the men of Israel, before the servants of David.

This is not transformed, it is not sanctified, it is not Christ like. These believers have been conformed to the world. You can't tell the difference between them and evil tyrants or slave holders.

10 Now therefore let me alone, that my wrath may wax hot against them, and that I may consume them: and I will make of thee a great nation.

OK, that will be best. It sure is a good thing for us that Moses was there and not me. Can you imagine if BLM was there, God is going to destroy the cruel slave holders, they would be cheering. This is what cancel culture wants. Fortunately for mankind Jesus is not like them, He is not like me, He is truly the savior of the world.

11 And Moses besought the Lord his God, and said, Lord, why doth thy wrath wax hot against thy people, which thou hast brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great power, and with a mighty hand?

Now we are talking about the tribulation and everything that is about to fall on the Earth.

12 Wherefore should the Egyptians speak, and say, For mischief did he bring them out, to slay them in the mountains, and to consume them from the face of the earth? Turn from thy fierce wrath, and repent of this evil against thy people.

That is a powerful prayer! Lord if you destroy the apostate church then the FreeMasons and Jesuits and Satanists will have won and will dance on their graves.

13 Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, thy servants, to whom thou swarest by thine own self, and saidst unto them, I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have spoken of will I give unto your seed, and they shall inherit it for ever.

These are the ones who will be raptured, the heroes of faith. The dead in Christ rise first, and then those who are alive will join them in the air. Let's change our focal point, instead of looking at these abominable Christians who have mingled their worship with the worship of Moloch and Baal, and who offer up children as sacrifices to Satan, instead let's focus on all those who were the heroes of faith, who did not depart from the path and who were sanctified.

14 And the Lord repented of the evil which he thought to do unto his people.

Phew, that was a close one.

If you do wind up in the tribulation know that you have dodged a bullet.

There will be a lot of people killed at the same time that the rapture takes place. It will be like when Noah's ark was lifted up. It was lifted up by a flood that wiped out the people on earth.

15 And Moses turned, and went down from the mount, and the two tables of the testimony were in his hand: the tables were written on both their sides; on the one side and on the other were they written.

The tablets of testimony. We are told that it is "the ark of testimony" and also that there is the "Tabernacle of testimony". Now we have the "tablets of testimony". The Bible is the "tablets of testimony". When the rapture takes place it will be a testimony that God's word is true and faithful.

16 And the tables were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, graven upon the tables.

The Bible is the word of God, it was written with the finger of God on tables of stone. God's servants are His hands and feet, or in the case of those who write the word of God they are His fingers. Our stony hearts are where God wants to write His word. The Bible is a table of stone. Regardless how much the enemy has tried to destroy, hide, cover up, change or distort the word, he can't. The word of God is written in stone.

17 And when Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, he said unto Moses, There is a noise of war in the camp.

18 And he said, It is not the voice of them that shout for mastery, neither is it the voice of them that cry for being overcome: but the noise of them that sing do I hear.

The Lord said if you were not watching then He would come as a thief in the night. The noise of those that sing indicates they are eating and drinking with the drunkards in the world.

19 And it came to pass, as soon as he came nigh unto the camp, that he saw the calf, and the dancing: and Moses' anger waxed hot, and he cast the tables out of his hands, and brake them beneath the mount.

God's word is true, but breaking the tablets beneath the mount shows that every man is a liar. What we have been seeing recently is how Satanic the Catholic church is, the Pope is, and all these mega church pastors are. What we can all see right now is the calf and the dancing. Everyday on the news if you are a genuine believer of God you are shocked by what you see. Last night on Tucker Carlson he showed a short campaign ad for a woman who was running for state senate in Rhode Island. She was in a very small bathing suit, standing on her head in the sand, twerking. I felt this campaign ad should be rated R. He then showed us the person Biden has appointed to look after all the spent fuel rods from our nuclear waste. The "man" was dressed in a dress surrounded by people wearing dog masks because this person apparently has a dog fetish. If you can't see that the US is Sodom and Gomorrah then you are blind, it is as clear and brazen as it could be.

If you do go through the Tribulation you will have to drink some very bitter water

20 And he took the calf which they had made, and burnt it in the fire, and ground it to powder, and strawed it upon the water, and made the children of Israel drink of it.

This is the tribulation. You will have to drink this bitter water made from the idols you worshipped ground into powder.

21 And Moses said unto Aaron, What did this people unto thee, that thou hast brought so great a sin upon them?

22 And Aaron said, Let not the anger of my lord wax hot: thou knowest the people, that they are set on mischief.

23 For they said unto me, Make us gods, which shall go before us: for as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him.

This reminds me of God finding Adam and Eve in the garden with fig leaves. Adam blames Eve just as Aaron blames the people. Aaron was trying to please the people. This is what is happening in these mega churches. They are run by a board of directors that focus on how many people are in the meeting, how much in offerings they collect, and what makes the people happy and what makes them unhappy. God forbid a bunch of people would get up and leave because you say that fornication is a sin, or abortion is a sin, or that the elder must be the husband of one wife.

When I made this blog I was very conscious about making a title that would not be "click bait". I didn't want anyone searching for some click bait topic and stumble upon this. I figured "Bible references" would discourage those looking for some pagan thing while the word "rapture" would turn off many who don't want to hear about that. Not only so, but it is just writing. I didn't make any spiffy youtube videos that are entertaining. I may have linked a couple of them but that is because I appreciate the Lord works through many different people. I wasn't trying to turn anyone away, I simply wanted them to be very clear up front what they would get. If you are looking for insight into the Bible or into the rapture then by all means, welcome.

I believe Aaron's mistake is to try and please everyone. This is what Laodicea is. The patients are running the insane asylum. The church is a hospital, and in many cases it is a mental hospital. You cannot allow the patients to run the hospital.

You can't let the patients run the Mental Hospital (church)


24 And I said unto them, Whosoever hath any gold, let them break it off. So they gave it me: then I cast it into the fire, and there came out this calf.

25 And when Moses saw that the people were naked; (for Aaron had made them naked unto their shame among their enemies)

Let's get a full picture here. The people are naked and Moses saw this. I felt terrible after seeing that woman's campaign ad of her twerking, but then I read how she was so happy that as a teacher she had taught kids about sex. She is naked and she has made the people naked. This has to be held to the account of the church leaders. Many people, especially kids, don't know any better. What happened to the church as they simply allowed the Bible to be removed from the kids education, prayer from the school, and the wages of sin from their preaching? At the time of the rapture there will be an accounting of many church leaders.

26 Then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, Who is on the Lord's side? let him come unto me. And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together unto him.

We are told repeatedly that the rapture is when Jesus is at the door, and that there is a door opened in heaven. A door and a gate are similar but not the same. The gate keeps the dogs in the yard. You might have a gate at the end of the driveway. If the gates is opened the army can walk through. A door is for people, a gate is for dogs, cars, tanks, horses, and armies.

27 And he said unto them, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Put every man his sword by his side, and go in and out from gate to gate throughout the camp, and slay every man his brother, and every man his companion, and every man his neighbour.

There are many dreams and visions that at the same time the church is raptured we will see many people slain, especially the liars and thieves in the pulpit.

28 And the children of Levi did according to the word of Moses: and there fell of the people that day about three thousand men.

This has to remind us of Pentecost. This is one reason why I feel that Shavuot was when Jesus ascended and that this was when they had the feast of Pentecost (where you might be drinking wine).

29 For Moses had said, Consecrate yourselves today to the Lord, even every man upon his son, and upon his brother; that he may bestow upon you a blessing this day.

What do you think the impact of the rapture will be on those who are left behind? I suspect they will consecrate themselves to the Lord. They will hate and despise those Pastors and leaders that lied to them, deceived them, and told them whatever they wanted to hear. But after that first response, the second will be to consecrate themselves to the Lord.

30 And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses said unto the people, Ye have sinned a great sin: and now I will go up unto the Lord; peradventure I shall make an atonement for your sin.

This is what the tribulation is all about. People have sinned a great sin. If they repent they can be saved. This is true of both Christians and Jews. During the tribulation we see many who do get saved, and we also see many who are judged and perish.

31 And Moses returned unto the Lord, and said, Oh, this people have sinned a great sin, and have made them gods of gold.

How do you show people that they have made a great sin in making a god of gold? Currency collapse, economy collapse, famine, and all of a sudden you realize your gold can't save you.

32 Yet now, if thou wilt forgive their sin--; and if not, blot me, I pray thee, out of thy book which thou hast written.

Wow! Thank you Lord! There is no way God is going to blot Jesus out of His book. This is how sure our salvation is. The only way our salvation can fail is if God blots Jesus out of the book! No way! Not going to happen! Oh yeah, I am dancing, and I am not naked, I am covered in the blood!

33 And the Lord said unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book.

Better repent, confess and look to Jesus to wash away your sins.

34 Therefore now go, lead the people unto the place of which I have spoken unto thee: behold, mine Angel shall go before thee: nevertheless in the day when I visit I will visit their sin upon them.

35 And the Lord plagued the people, because they made the calf, which Aaron made.

Two great things we learn here. First, Jesus will lead the believers during the tribulation to salvation. Second, the plagues will begin this tribulation.

When you are being plagued know that it is because of the calf, because you worshipped pagan gods like the birthday of the Babylonian gods (Christmas) or the god of fertility (Easter). Repent, confess, take the Lord's blood, and read the words written in stone in the Bible.

What about the raptured saints?

Post #5,060-5,064 are five posts that look at Exodus 32 and it looks precisely like the situation with the apostasy, with the church in Laodicea and with those Christians who are left behind during the tribulation.

Therefore I am wondering what chapter 31 says, does this give us insight into the rapture?

31:1 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 2 See, I have called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah: 3 And I have filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship, 4 To devise cunning works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass, 5 And in cutting of stones, to set them, and in carving of timber, to work in all manner of workmanship. 6 And I, behold, I have given with him Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan: and in the hearts of all that are wise hearted I have put wisdom, that they may make all that I have commanded thee; 7 The tabernacle of the congregation, and the ark of the testimony, and the mercy seat that is thereupon, and all the furniture of the tabernacle, 8 And the table and his furniture, and the pure candlestick with all his furniture, and the altar of incense, 9 And the altar of burnt offering with all his furniture, and the laver and his foot,
10 And the cloths of service, and the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister in the priest's office, 11 And the anointing oil, and sweet incense for the holy place: according to all that I have commanded thee shall they do.

Wow, OK. We have 12 tribes and out of those 12 we have these two representatives that will help build the tabernacle, especially all the furnishings. Earlier I looked at three parables that the Lord gave concerning the kingdom. In the first you have wicked servants in the house and good servants. The wicked servants eat and drink with the drunken and beat the Lord's servants. The good servants are preparing and watching for the Lord's return. So if we have 12 tribes it is like saying six are wicked and six are faithful. Then the next parable is about virgins waiting for the Lord, half are wise and half are foolish. Well, we just learned that these six that are faithful are, like these virgins, watching for the Lord's return and they are not wicked, just like virgins are considered to be pure. So again, out of these six tribes half are wise and have a relationship with the Lord and half are foolish and have no oil in their vessels. So this reduces us to three tribes. Then the third parable talks about three servants, two are taking the talents the Lord has given them and have developed them. One is lazy and buries the talent. This reduces the three tribes we have left to two. Now in this chapter it seems that out of 12 tribes God is giving Moses (a type of Jesus) two to help build everything according to the pattern God showed them. Wouldn't it be awesome if this depicts those who are raptured? These are the ones who have learned to work with other saints without beating them, they are not drunken, they are faithful, they have spent time with the Lord so they have a relationship with Him and are obedient and they have developed the skills the Lord has given them. One thing I have noticed is that we have all kinds, many different talents and also many different quantities. One sister might have one dream, another brother has been sharing daily for the last thirty years, another shares two messages a week for the last twenty years, and still another makes one long message each month. The skill is different, the quantity is different, but in every case it is gold. The quality is the same. When they speak you realize this is coming from someone who is a faithful servant to the Lord and who has a relationship with the Lord.

I know some get jealous or envious of these ones. They wish they had that gift that this brother or sister has. However, I can tell you very clearly I don't. Dana Coverstone had dreams, they went viral, and never once did I want that gift. I even told the Lord very clearly I didn't want that. I did have a couple of dreams but I know that if Dana shares his dreams he will be attacked. For me it is one thing to be attacked when you are sharing the word of God, hey I didn't say this, God did. But to be attacked when you are sharing one of these dreams? Especially if you aren't clear what it means? No thank you.

Then you have Pastor Sandy who does a whole lot of gematria and breaking down the Hebrew. I appreciate every word he speaks, but that is not for me. I know I am very poor at learning foreign languages. Also I suspect the mockery and ridicule he has gotten for the gematria is probably exceedingly high. Don't get me wrong, I'm not afraid to be on the field of battle, but I have no desire to be jumping up and down and telling the enemy to shoot at me. I could go on but the point is you focus on the talents the Lord has given you, that is your business, and you want that to be a success. If you have doubled your money it doesn't matter if it is 2 talents becoming 4 or 5 talents becoming 10. Either way it is a return on investment of 100%. These are the brothers and sisters that will be in the heavens with the Lord, helping Him as a help meet just like Eve. These are the ones that have been filled with wisdom like oil filling their vessels.

12 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 13 Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily my sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am the Lord that doth sanctify you. 14 Ye shall keep the sabbath therefore; for it is holy unto you: every one that defileth it shall surely be put to death: for whosoever doeth any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people. 15 Six days may work be done; but in the seventh is the sabbath of rest, holy to the Lord: whosoever doeth any work in the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death. 16 Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant. 17 It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever: for in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.

This reminds me of a meeting I was at, a small men's fellowship. We would read a bunch of verses and then apply them to our life. Everyone else would focus on their shortcomings and how they fall short of these verses but would like to aspire to them. I didn't share that, instead I shared the light I got from the verses. One brother was visibly confused by this because the goal of this Bible study was to "improve ourselves". I told him that for years I also looked on my failures the way these guys were doing like I was Charlie Brown the perennial loser. Then one day I decided to take a chance and put that kid at the end of the bench into the game, the guy named Jesus. It is like having Michael Jordan on the team. You will look like a genius of a coach if all you do is put him into the game. To me this is what "keeping the Sabbath" means. I'm not trying to do this out of my own strength or out of my own wisdom. We do this in Jesus, He is our strength, He is our wisdom.

18 And he gave unto Moses, when he had made an end of communing with him upon mount Sinai, two tables of testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of God.

A lot of things coming that are hard to understand

https://rumble.com/v1bderl-here-comes-the-giants-53122106am.html

I see the giants destroying everything in sight.

Why is the rapture of the church likened to a wheat harvest

If you were China, Russia and Iran and were planning to destroy the US right now, you would probably want to wait until after the wheat harvest. The reason they would want to destroy us is not simply to destroy our military acting as a policeman, but also to seize our resources, the most important of which is our wheat harvest.

Yes we grow a lot of corn and that accounts for a lot of calories, but wheat is a complete food. At a time when the world is on the verge of a famine seizing our storehouses of grain, particularly wheat would be a very high priority.

I don't think this is a coincidence. We are told in the book of Revelation and in Matthew 24 that famine will take place after the rapture. Wars are fought over resources. The US has the best farmland in the world.

Also when you watch China with their lockdowns of cities like Shanghai, what are they doing? Shanghai is about the closest thing China has to a western city. I think the the lockdown there is a dress rehearsal for the US. You learn what things you need, how long it takes to erect the barriers, how many troops are necessary, and all the various ways people will respond.

China, Russia and Iran are going to have "military drills" in mid August in Central America to demonstrate their ability to project a military force into the US. Announcing this drill would explain movements and communications that the US will detect. However, what I think this really is will be a mop up operation to come in after a surprise attack about three weeks earlier. Imagine they have 12 suitcase nukes go off in major cities of the US at the same time the explode an EMP over the center of the US knocking out our entire power grid and they also create tsunamis by exploding nuclear bombs off our coast lines underwater. 65% of the US population lives within 5 miles of our coastlines, they would all be catastrophically impacted. Without electricity we won't have refrigeration or transportation of goods. Within days cities will be in flames. Without electricity you won't have communication or police cars, so law and order will collapse. Once people loot the stores that will be it, all the shelves will be emptied out in a week. After a month of this then the Russian, Chinese and Iranian troops can move in as "peace keepers" to restore order. I don't think they are interested in our cities on the coastlines, they want the agricultural production from the heartland. We have a lot of prophecies that the US is Sodom and Gomorrah and that the US is the Great Babylon whose judgement will come in one hour.

Hosea 2:9 "Therefore I will return and take away my grain it its time and My new wine in its season"

If the Lord is going to use China to take away the grain they would do it shortly after it was harvested and in the silos.

Hosea tells us the Lord will return to take away the grain in its time, that is the rapture, when the wheat is caught up and taken to the heavenly storehouse.

Hosea -- causing idolatrous Christians to repent and seek mercy

Hosea 2:1 Say ye unto your brethren, Ammi; and to your sisters, Ruhamah.

Right now the fields are white for harvest, it is time to tell everyone the gospel and that mercy is available. Again, it looks like the two out of the 12 tribes are to speak to the rest of the body of believers.

2 Plead with your mother, plead: for she is not my wife, neither am I her husband: let her therefore put away her whoredoms out of her sight, and her adulteries from between her breasts;
3 Lest I strip her naked, and set her as in the day that she was born, and make her as a wilderness, and set her like a dry land, and slay her with thirst.

She has been divorced due to breaking the wedding vows. Now once you have been caught in adultery you can confess, repent and humble yourself. It is like the story of the person at a wedding taking the best seat and then they are told to give place because someone more honorable has come and so now they go and take the least honorable seat. The other option is to be obstinate, refuse to repent, and God will come in and judge and you will experience the wrath of God. This applies to all God's people, not just the Jews. The US was long considered "a Christian country". Now think of what an embarrassment and shame to the Lord to a country called "a Christian" country with all of this flesh for all to see straight out of the Sodom and Gomorrah playbook.

4 And I will not have mercy upon her children; for they be the children of whoredoms.

We are now talking about the tribulation and everything in the book of Revelation.

5 For their mother hath played the harlot: she that conceived them hath done shamefully: for she said, I will go after my lovers, that give me my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, mine oil and my drink.

Just yesterday we learn that Joe Biden took our strategic oil reserves and give it to the countries that he had corrupted himself with. Prior to this we gave Asia our manufacturing of clothes. Prior to that we cut deals with the Middle East over oil production.

6 Therefore, behold, I will hedge up thy way with thorns, and make a wall, that she shall not find her paths.

So many are frustrated with the corruption, the election fraud, the lack of justice, the AG's letting criminals out of prison, the rise in crime, the flooding of our borders. It seems even if you protest and bring these issues before the elected officials the way is covered up with thorns. People feel it is pointless to vote, to appeal. The only option once the legal paths are closed to you is civil war, secession, and insurrection.

7 And she shall follow after her lovers, but she shall not overtake them; and she shall seek them, but shall not find them: then shall she say, I will go and return to my first husband; for then was it better with me than now.

These people are idiots. They get a million dollars under the table, they get their campaigns financed, but at what cost. They are hated, they are vilified, they are on the front page of the news everyday for their corruption. They are caught up in their hypocrisy and all can see they are idiots.

8 For she did not know that I gave her corn, and wine, and oil, and multiplied her silver and gold, which they prepared for Baal.

If you haven't learned this yet, note this verse well. Abortion is a human sacrifice to Baal. Our country is filled with those who worship Baal. This is Satan worship. It may be very hard for you to believe but these people who are saying and doing outrageous things and appear to be demonic Satan worshippers are in fact demonic Satan worshippers. Our leaders are involved in the occult, in witchcraft, in the worship of Baal, in human trafficking and in human sacrifice. 9/11 was a human sacrifice to this Satanic worship.

9 Therefore will I return, and take away my corn in the time thereof, and my wine in the season thereof, and will recover my wool and my flax given to cover her nakedness.

This is why Jesus returns. He says right here "therefore will I return". Compare this to Exodus 32, this is why God told Moses to get back down. The word here for "corn" is actually grain. Jesus will come back at the time of the grain harvest (wheat, corn, etc). This is when the rapture of the church will take place. From that point on the world will experience a famine for grain, particularly a famine for the world of God which is likened to grain. After the rapture everyone will want to know the word of God and there won't be anyone to speak it. Then the Lord comes in and takes away the new wine, the harvest of grapes which begins shortly after the grain is harvested.

10 And now will I discover her lewdness in the sight of her lovers, and none shall deliver her out of mine hand.

This is the point the country learns they were sold out by these corrupt leaders. Can you imagine what happens to political leaders who were bought and sold by China after this event takes place? Traitors are despised by everyone. There will be no place to flee to.

11 I will also cause all her mirth to cease, her feast days, her new moons, and her sabbaths, and all her solemn feasts.

Thanksgiving, done. Christmas, over. Valentine's day, no one will celebrate that. Easter, they will be ashamed of that. When there is a famine no one has parties and festivals. No mirth, no late night comedians, no trips to Disney world.

12 And I will destroy her vines and her fig trees, whereof she hath said, These are my rewards that my lovers have given me: and I will make them a forest, and the beasts of the field shall eat them.

After you arrest and prosecute these ones you then seize all their assets.

13 And I will visit upon her the days of Baalim, wherein she burned incense to them, and she decked herself with her earrings and her jewels, and she went after her lovers, and forgat me, saith the Lord.

Christmas and Easter are the "days of Baalim". They will be punished for all their idolatrous worship. Companies that specialize in selling those trinkets and junk will all be bankrupt. Those decorations that every town has will be destroyed. They would put up all kinds of decorations to celebrate "Xmas".

14 Therefore, behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak comfortably unto her.
15 And I will give her her vineyards from thence, and the valley of Achor for a door of hope: and she shall sing there, as in the days of her youth, and as in the day when she came up out of the land of Egypt.
16 And it shall be at that day, saith the Lord, that thou shalt call me Ishi; and shalt call me no more Baali.
17 For I will take away the names of Baalim out of her mouth, and they shall no more be remembered by their name.
18 And in that day will I make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field and with the fowls of heaven, and with the creeping things of the ground: and I will break the bow and the sword and the battle out of the earth, and will make them to lie down safely.
19 And I will betroth thee unto me for ever; yea, I will betroth thee unto me in righteousness, and in judgment, and in lovingkindness, and in mercies.
20 I will even betroth thee unto me in faithfulness: and thou shalt know the Lord.
21 And it shall come to pass in that day, I will hear, saith the Lord, I will hear the heavens, and they shall hear the earth;
22 And the earth shall hear the corn, and the wine, and the oil; and they shall hear Jezreel.
23 And I will sow her unto me in the earth; and I will have mercy upon her that had not obtained mercy; and I will say to them which were not my people, Thou art my people; and they shall say, Thou art my God.

The 9th of Av and the Rapture

Dr. Barry Awe is pointing at this day because it is one of the days of Noah where both the Dove and the Raven were released.

His point is that when the man child is raptured at the same time we go up the fallen angels go down.

The problem with this is that the 9th of Av is the end of a three week period of mourning, no one is going to get married during these three weeks and yet the Lord described the day of the rapture as they will be marrying and giving in marriage. Also, the Raven signifies the spirit of Antichrist. Revelation 12 does not say that when we get raptured the Antichrist is released, rather the fallen angels are cast to the earth.

This three weeks of mourning that begins on Tammuz 17 is because this is when the walls of Jerusalem were breached. The walls of Jerusalem are the things that "restrain" the enemy. Paul says that the restrainer will be removed is a sign of the Holy Spirit stepping aside and that is considered to be when the rapture takes place.

Think of the saints who are raptured as the ones on the wall fighting off the enemy. When they are taken your defense is gone, and the enemy pours in. If the Earth is likened to Jerusalem, the raptured saints to the wall, and the fallen angels the ones that pour in once the wall is breached.

This three week period that begins on Tammuz 17 is a time of mourning, a time of fasting and praying to be reset with the Lord. What happens after the rapture? Will anyone want to get married the next day? Will they be fasting and praying and having their relationship with the Lord reset?

But what about the 9th of Av, it is one of the days of Noah. I think after the three weeks of prayer and fasting you will see the spirit poured out on the earth and at the same time you will see the Antichrist appear for the first time.

Dr. Barry Awe and I both agree that Exodus 32 is a rapture scenario.

Exodus 24:18 18 And Moses went into the midst of the cloud, and gat him up into the mount: and Moses was in the mount forty days and forty nights.

It has been 40 jubilees. So this certainly fits with the Lord ascending into heaven and being there for 2,000 years.

If this refers to the 5th of Sivan when Moses went up, 40 days later would be the 15th of Tammuz.

There is no reason to think that just because they heard singing and it was called a banquet of wine that this abominable feast was one of the appointed feasts of the Lord. It wouldn't make any sense, why would Moses still be up in the mountain if there were an appointed feast where everyone was to meet with God?

Yes, they were surely drinking wine and getting drunk just as the Lord warned in his story about the evil servants beating the other servants in the house and drinking with the drunken.

So it seems to me when the church is raptured the world loses that wall that was protecting them from the fallen angels and God's people who are left behind get exposed that they are worshipping Baal and eating and drinking with the drunken. This will result in a three week fast where people pray and get right with God concluding with the Holy Spirit being poured out.

The Molten calf and the law of the jealous husband

Numbers 5:11 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
12 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, If any man's wife go aside, and commit a trespass against him,
13 And a man lie with her carnally, and it be hid from the eyes of her husband, and be kept close, and she be defiled, and there be no witness against her, neither she be taken with the manner;
14 And the spirit of jealousy come upon him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she be defiled: or if the spirit of jealousy come upon him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she be not defiled:

This is what happened when Moses was up on the mountain and the Israelites were down below worshipping Baal.

15 Then shall the man bring his wife unto the priest, and he shall bring her offering for her, the tenth part of an ephah of barley meal; he shall pour no oil upon it, nor put frankincense thereon; for it is an offering of jealousy, an offering of memorial, bringing iniquity to remembrance.

No oil, no taste, no seasoning, just some dry barley meal. This is what the tribulation will be like.

16 And the priest shall bring her near, and set her before the Lord:
17 And the priest shall take holy water in an earthen vessel; and of the dust that is in the floor of the tabernacle the priest shall take, and put it into the water:

This is what Moses did. He ground the idol to powder, put it into the water and made them drink it. This will reveal who was worshipping the idol and who wasn't. We have been given many warnings from dreams and visions of prophets that the water will be contaminated, poisoned. We have been told that only those whose heart is right with the Lord, who have been washed by the blood, will not be harmed by the water.

18 And the priest shall set the woman before the Lord, and uncover the woman's head, and put the offering of memorial in her hands, which is the jealousy offering: and the priest shall have in his hand the bitter water that causeth the curse:
19 And the priest shall charge her by an oath, and say unto the woman, If no man have lain with thee, and if thou hast not gone aside to uncleanness with another instead of thy husband, be thou free from this bitter water that causeth the curse:
20 But if thou hast gone aside to another instead of thy husband, and if thou be defiled, and some man have lain with thee beside thine husband:
21 Then the priest shall charge the woman with an oath of cursing, and the priest shall say unto the woman, The Lord make thee a curse and an oath among thy people, when the Lord doth make thy thigh to rot, and thy belly to swell;
22 And this water that causeth the curse shall go into thy bowels, to make thy belly to swell, and thy thigh to rot: And the woman shall say, Amen, amen.

If you are here during the tribulation you will be fine if you have not sinned or committed any sins. Likewise if you have confessed your sins, repented of them, been washed in the blood of the lamb, and are now walking daily in obedience to Him you will be fine. Everyone else, not so much.

23 And the priest shall write these curses in a book, and he shall blot them out with the bitter water:
24 And he shall cause the woman to drink the bitter water that causeth the curse: and the water that causeth the curse shall enter into her, and become bitter.

The church of Sardis is warned about walking in sins and that the Lord would blot their names out of the book of life.

25 Then the priest shall take the jealousy offering out of the woman's hand, and shall wave the offering before the Lord, and offer it upon the altar:
26 And the priest shall take an handful of the offering, even the memorial thereof, and burn it upon the altar, and afterward shall cause the woman to drink the water.

This is what the tribulation is, a jealous husband (God) forcing the people He made a covenant with to drink this bitter water. This is why it is absurd to think that everyone will be raptured after the tribulation. Even if many marriages are filled with jealousy and even cheating and deceit it is ridiculous to think that they all are. The only Christians going through the tribulation will be those that God is accusing of having been unfaithful to Him.

27 And when he hath made her to drink the water, then it shall come to pass, that, if she be defiled, and have done trespass against her husband, that the water that causeth the curse shall enter into her, and become bitter, and her belly shall swell, and her thigh shall rot: and the woman shall be a curse among her people.

There will be many religious people who will become a curse among the people.

28 And if the woman be not defiled, but be clean; then she shall be free, and shall conceive seed.
29 This is the law of jealousies, when a wife goeth aside to another instead of her husband, and is defiled;
30 Or when the spirit of jealousy cometh upon him, and he be jealous over his wife, and shall set the woman before the Lord, and the priest shall execute upon her all this law.
31 Then shall the man be guiltless from iniquity, and this woman shall bear her iniquity.

This may be off topic but here goes.

Jesus was a Jew.

Jesus said not one hot or tittle shall be removed,changed, from the law till all is accomplished.

All has not been accomplished. The sacrificial part of the law was finished by Jesus' sacrifice on the cross.
The moral part of the law, the ten commands, are still applicable. As Jesus said. Upon two laws hang all the laws and the prophets. Love God with all our heart and mind. Love our neighbor as ourself. And it's true. The ten commands reflect those two loves.

Often there are Christians who think the Jewish Jesus was one of us.
No. We're one with him.

And I think if a Christian wants to observe the Sabbath they can and should.

If they feel called to celebrate or honor any of the feast days, they can and should.

We s ay it all the time but how many feel and live its truth? "Ours is a personal relationship with God."

That's the point. Personal relationship. Personal.

At their judgement God isn't going to condemn the Christian that observed the Sabbath and or honored the feast day(s).

Howeve r, he may share observations of our behaviors if we called those folks names or berrated them for it or worse, charged they weren't really Christian or in Christ when they followed "the law" or because they are Christians not Jews, and therefore they were wrong for observing Sabbath and or the feasts.

Someone else's relationship with the father is none of my business. Why do we, if we do, imagine it is? And others are to be subjected to our opinion based on our relationship. We're to follow Jesus! Not one another.

There it is. That's just my opinion.
Thanks for reading.💕✝️

3,000

When Moses comes down from the mountain he makes everyone drink the bitter water and 3,000 are revealed to have been worshipping Baal and they are killed. At the time of the rapture we will discover this "3,000" FreeMasons have infiltrated the church and they will become a curse.

Then with Samson they "pull him out for sport" the same word as saying in Exodus 32 that they rose up to play. They pull him out for sport in the temple where they were worshipping Dagon. Samson pushes the two pillars and these two pillars represent the church. The gematria is 120 and in the New Testament the ultimate consummation is 1200 which is the gematria of the church. This is what happens at the rapture. It is the end of the church, the pillars come down and when these pillars come down the 3,000 FreeMasons, the Satanists who worship Dagon, will be destroyed. The rapture of the church in Philadelphia will be a judgement on Thyatira, Sardis and Laodicea.

In Acts 3,000 are saved during Pentecost and tongues of fire fall on them and they begin to preach the gospel in every language and every tongue. Think of these 3,000 Satanists who have infiltrated the church as those who have held down the truth in unrighteousness. Once they are destroyed it releases 3,000 others to speak the word with fire.

Who are these 3,000 in Acts? They are the ultimate expression of Gideon's army, the three hundred men.

Thanks in advance for your patience with autocorrect that kicks in after I've moved down the page.👀

Does the 9th of Av seem appropriate for the Rapture?

1. You have the destruction of the first and second temple on the 9th of Av. That is not the rapture. You could argue that the Holy Spirit stepping aside and the restrainer no longer restraining and Satan and his angels being cast to earth results in the destruction of the temple, but not the same day.

2. Jews were expelled from England, Spain and Gaza. Also, Jews in Rome were forced into a Ghetto. That isn't going to happen the same day the world witnesses the rapture. Maybe a month later, maybe a year later, but not the same day.

The story of Noah describes those in the Ark being saved and everyone else perishing. The story of Lot describes Lot and his two daughters escaping and everyone else in the city perishing.

The rapture of the church will not be on the same day that there is massive, devilish, satanic persecution against the church. I would expect the first reaction is shock, disbelief, then people will become angry, that anger will be focused on phony pastors, but there will be a revival a whole lot of people coming to the Lord and then ultimately the people who refuse to come to the Lord will blame the Christians and Jews because while preaching they will say that God prophesied about all these terrible things in the tribulation and then they will blame the Christians and Jews for causing the terrible things.

However, WWI started on this day and the final solution was put into effect on this day. Therefore this day does look like the Spirit of Antichrist is released on this day.

Paul's testimony -- I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God

18 And when they were come to him, he said unto them, Ye know, from the first day that I came into Asia, after what manner I have been with you at all seasons, 19 Serving the Lord with all humility of mind, and with many tears, and temptations, which befell me by the lying in wait of the Jews: 20 And how I kept back nothing that was profitable unto you, but have shewed you, and have taught you publicly, and from house to house, 21 Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ. 22 And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall me there: 23 Save that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions abide me. 24 But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God. 25 And now, behold, I know that ye all, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of God, shall see my face no more. 26 Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men. 27 For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God.
